Draining a three-pointer in the first half Feb. 17 in the Braham gym, senior Tyler Vaughan joined the 3,000-point club in Minnesota high school basketball in style. Vaughan kept rolling to total 33 points in the Bombers’ 102-41 thrashing of the visiting Tigers.

After scoring 37 points in the Feb. 21 victory over Moose Lake-Willow River, Vaughan now has 3,051 career points. He is seventh all-time in MN boys basketball history– just four points behind sixth-place Cole Olstad of Plainview-Elgin-Millville (2011 grad). Vaughan owns the state three-point shooting record which he broke way back on Dec. 13.
